  • YouTube quietly made some of its web embeds worse, including ours

  • Just start ignoring it. There's a simple ad free Internet out there, you just need to start using it as your go-to.

    How to develop a good website

    Jump

  • I resisted the urge to post the text of the article here because the article is actually all about the simple clean and open approach that made the web good at its genesis. You couldn't get anything further from the ad infested, tracking, AI garbage and hot take nonsense that the modern web is infested with right now.

    Visit the site, read, bask in its glorious simplicity. Go and do likewise.

  • It's never too late to start programming. To get a job though you need to show you can get things done. Even if you're going for junior roles, you'll benefit from being able to include links to some finished projects on your CV. For most basic entry level it is far far far better to have something that was finished, and works, but isn't perfect rather than nothing at all.

    Don't put too much trust in so called "certificates" from these schools. A company will, again, be more interested to see what you can do than what pieces of paper you've earned. Having said that some courses are good (some are not). Only sink money into it if you have scrutinised the reviews and seen good words about them on here or Reddit or other popular program discussion places. Don't go off their own testimonials.

    If you were willing to be relaxed on salary (if the alternative is indeed homelessness) then you ought to be able to get your toe in the door somewhere. After that don't feel too loyal, do what you need to, but study and build study and build in your own time and keep yourself out there open to job #2.

  • Octoparse has a free tier and a Google scholar template. No idea about other sources. Ultimately Google scholar / research gate etc don't provide their own RSS feeds so any solution you use is going to involve someone tweaking a scraping template over time to keep up with changes to the source websites. = Cost.

    I used to just use email notifications instead and had a filter for these in my inbox which had the same effect as an RSS feed...

  • Suppose we learn the CEO was killed over something ordinary and the shooter was a basic murderer. What does the reaction to this death say, if anything about this moment in history?

  • I get it, but also can you imagine a foreign country banning Amazon because "it means the US can see what you're up to and it gets to choose what deals to push at you" etc?

    I mean.. Facebook for god's sake..

    Being protectionist makes sense sometimes but it screws you over when other countries start banning your apps in favour of home grown alternatives..

  • I don't know how bad it's considered to be, I've seen people complain about Sum of All Fears. But I seem to be able to watch it on repeat..

  • What's your hot take on the Marvel cinematic Universe?

    Jump

  • They are extremely boring with little to no real threat and tedious fights where you know who's going to win anyway

    Character development? Probably the only actual thing that dies

  • Why were gold and silver treasured in the mercantile ages when they weren't very useful?

    Jump

  • It looks good. Every culture that's found gold has made jewellery out of it. The rest follows from there.

    It doesn't tarnish, so once you've already decided it looks good, you then notice it doesn't age or spoil like pretty much everything else. That gives it a magical aura and allure.

    It's fungible (consistent and exchangeable).. gold here looks exactly the same as gold there

    It's malleable - can be easier subdivided into units for exchange. Can readily be worked into attractive decoration.

    Although it's rare this isn't what drove is attractiveness (the Inca had abundant gold and still chose it to make jewellery out of, it just looks better, even if there's a lot of it), but scarcity did help it become a reliable store of value across the middle east, africa, asia and europe.

  • How to run current file in Kate?

    Jump

  • So, I'm a bit rusty, but I believe in Kate you would hit F4 to get a terminal window and you would execute

    gcc your_file.c -o your_output_file

    Then after that's run you'd type just "your_output_file" and hit enter

    I think on windows you'd need to make sure the output file name ends with .exe but I'm not sure about that, maybe someone else can chime in?

  • What language are you programming in?

    As far as I'm aware, in many cases, Kate just gives you access to the terminal where you can type commands to compile / run your code.
